[Qgis-developer] Splash screen for 2.0

[Ziegler Stefan]

There is also an old map called "Siegfriedkarte" which is based on the one from dufour and on this one the mountain is names "Dufourspitze".

And it does not look that depressing as the b/w one.

Hi,

I also like the name "Dufour".

There are also the old "Dufour" maps: see http://s.geo.admin.ch/09751c84f

The problem is that the mountain called "Dufourspitze" is not yet on the
maps that Dufour initiated/created. It was only named after his name.

So - we could either use one of the old maps without the name
"Dufourspitze" or the current map and ask Swisstopo for permission to
use the new map.

I can volunteer to ask Swisstopo for permission. I have some good
connections. You just have to decide whether you want the old Dufour map
(black and white, old style) or the current map (current/new style).

+1 for Dufour!!!

Easily pronounced, and very representative!

A very good idea!

That would be a nice map on the summit:

hi I remember a discussion we had with tim last month in South Africa.
I Suggested that. he thought was too hard in english.
I then suggested "Dufour".  beside being a very influencial swiss
cartographer [1] it is also the highest mountain in switzerland.

i think it would be very representative for the whole swiss community.

To avoid trademark etc issues I would prefer we use a little know
place - also one that non german speakers have a vague hope of being
able to pronounce.

What about 'Hönggerberg' (the place where the developer meeting took
place) ?

Hi All

If you are a daily blocker list [1] watcher you will have noticed
that Juergen Fischer (aka our resident coding machine) has been
whittling the list down  - 31 issues left as I write this.

Juergen has been funded for two weeks - one week each from the Swiss
QGIS Users Group and QGIS.org<http://QGIS.org>'s fund). If you have been contemplating
sponsoring QGIS, there is never a better time to do it as we use the
money to fund activities such as these which are a huge step in
helping us to produce good quality releases.

Based on his progress I expect we should be ready to release before
FOSS4G2013 (yay!). We need to decide on two things:

* A name for the release
* A map for the splash screen

These should be in a similar vein to the splash and name for QGIS 1.8
'Lisboa'. Since the next Hackfest after Lisbon was Zurich I am
proposing that we name this release after an interesting place in
Zurich. To avoid trademark etc issues I would prefer we use a little
know place - also one that non german speakers have a vague hope of
being able to pronounce. As such could I ask our hosts from Zurich to
proffer a suitable name and a nice old map that we can use for the
splash screen?

Many thanks

Tim
